Plot

The young wife of an old husband has relationships with a canon and a young man. She fulfills the latter's every expectation thanks to the generosity of the canon. The two nephews of the old husband are afraid not to inherit. They denounce her. But the valet Finet informs his mistress of this denunciation. The unfaithful wife succeeds in chasing her two enemies away.

gollark: I think you're confusing a bunch of things right now. Or possibly just two things, many worlds and extra spatial dimensions.
gollark: "We"?
gollark: ???
gollark: Things which extend into those instead of just having a constant fixed position in said new spatial dimension are also not going to somehow stop being subject to time, unless the laws of physics privilege it somehow, which would be really weird.
gollark: For one thing, if you add extra spatial dimensions to our universe on top of the existing 3, it isn't suddenly going to gain multiverses or something; ignoring all the complex physics things I'm not aware of which are probably sensitive to this, it will just be another direction in which you can move, perpendicular to the other 3.
